This is due in large part to The Bionic Woman having fallen afoul of the last writers' strike. In any event, she looks even hotter now, if that's possible. Okay, I lie: it is possible. Click on images to embiggen. If I were single, younger, richer and much, much more handsome, I still wouldn't have a snowball's chance in Hell with her. But hey, she'd be the most physically awesome woman to turn me down/kick me in the nuts so, you know, I'd have that...Physics Geekhttp://physicsgeek.new.mu.nu//a_favorite_revisitedHoliday greetings2009-11-19T15:40:40ZIt's once again that time of year when I repost stale holiday humor. Expect this to continue, more or less, through the end of the year. =========================== Due to the ever-increasing cost of postage, and my decreasing ability to write legibly, here is my card to cover every holiday of the rest of our...Physics Geekhttp://physicsgeek.new.mu.nu//holiday_greetingsOld. old joke (repost) UPDATED2009-11-19T15:12:57ZLaura- in the comments- typed an alternate ending to this tale: Love it. I emailed your link to a couple of friends and one responded - I suggest this as a more appropriate ending: Of course, being a Democrat, his actions were too little, too late. While he had stuck his finger in the air gauging public opinion and had his Chief of Staff commission countless polls, the Anu'udrians had been busy. So what if they had to enter the earth's atmosphere illegally? There was plenty of precedent to believe that the Dems would try to put them on the...Physics Geekhttp://physicsgeek.new.mu.nu//old._old_joke_repost_updatedWhat he said2009-11-19T09:35:11ZFrom the fertile keyboard of Instapunk: But here's what I don't get. Hating Sarah Palin. That's my whole point here. Think about it. Who do you have to be to hate Sarah Palin? And through my general skittishness and protectiveness, I'm perceiving this as a major-league, big-time question. If you're a woman, you hate her because she's beautiful, famous, happily married, a devoted mother, and strong enough to endure an unending media assault indistinguishable for all intents and purposes from gang rape? Really? You hate her? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

However, if there's one thing that you can count on me for, it's recycling the stalest holiday humor you've ever seen between now and the New Year. --------------------------------------------------- HOW TO COOK A TURKEY Step 1: Go buy a turkey Step 2: Take a drink of whiskey, scotch, or JD Step 3: Put turkey in the oven Step 4: Take another 2 drinks of whiskey Step 5: Set the degree at 375 ovens Step...Physics Geekhttp://physicsgeek.new.mu.nu//how_to_cook_a_turkeyA special Thanksgiving Day message2009-11-17T16:51:55ZReposted from last year.

However, I have to say that the following series reboot surpasses the original: Milk Men - A Mad Men ParodyAtom.com: Funny Videos | Spoofs | TV & Movie Spoofs There's only one thing missing: no one smokes milk.

Frankly, that's not a good trade-off to make for the "sniffling, sneezing, coughing, stuff head-fever-so-you-can-rest" medicine. However, I know that many people swear by, rather than at, the stuff, so here's how to make your own. n place of Acetaminophen (pain and fever reliever), Dextromethorphan HBr (cough suppressant), and Doxylamine succinate (sleep aid) we used green chile, ginger, citric acid and booze -- all herbal, if subtler, forms of the chemical stuff.

Oh sure, Rodney Dill would win pretty much every week if he weren't running the darned thing (he wins most weeks over at Wizbang), but I'll take my meager victory in this week's caption contest.

Actually, I put it there because my vision was blurry after reading the article and I knew that "errata" was at the bottom of the list. Anyway. Short version: A little girl is diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and dies about a year later. Since then, her parents have been finding notes she wrote and stashed all around the house, such as this: My little girl writes me notes like this all the time.

I've ruined a cheap Swiss Army knife knockoff using the tinfoil corkscrew to open a wine bottle. And I've even pushed the cork down into the bottle just so that I could get to the grape.

I almost didn't recognize the Emperor's tone, because a few choice Anglo-Saxon invectives were missing from the text. I keed, I keed. Misha's always a worthy ready, but I really enjoy when he gets his dander up.
